Lower body atrophy in elderly men does not necessarily require surgical treatment. Surgery is one of the treatment options for patients with muscular dystrophy, but the pathogenesis of the disease and the physical conditions of different patients are different, and not always suitable for surgical treatment. For example, if the lower body muscle atrophy is caused by nerve trauma, cervical spondylosis or some nerve compression conditions, surgery can be considered according to the patient’s condition. However, if the muscle atrophy is caused by inflammation or nutritional deficiencies, clinically the preferred treatment is medication, supplemented by nutritional support to promote recovery. It is also worth noting that the best way to avoid muscle atrophy is to use more exercise, and should encourage the elderly to increase muscle exercise within the scope of the situation.
